Pray for Us

The Anniversary to be a time that helps in the
healing process, even if it’s painful and intensely emotional for many

People to experience the God of all comfort at
this time of renewed grief

The many churches and other organisations who
are providing memorial events and activities, that each person may find things
that are helpful to get them through this difficult time

Peace in the neighbourhood as this may also be a
time of renewed anger and frustration

The media to report the Anniversary sensitively
and well

The weather: last year it was really hot and
humid; and similar weather reminds us of it

People to experience the God of all comfort at
this time of renewed grief

Some particular
groups:

The most vulnerable, including the bereaved and
survivors, but also those in our community who already have mental or physical
health problems, at this time of sadness and stressOur young people, many of whom have been deeply
affected by Grenfell, and who may lack the vocabulary or emotional maturity to
be able to express how they are feelingAll who are having significant difficulty in
sleeping, especially on the night of the anniversary, but also many are
experiencing on-going insomnia

The Muslim Community, for whom Ramadan finishes
on the evening of 14th June

The 72 households who are still living in hotels
and the 57 householdswho are in temporary
accommodation. Most of these have accepted an offer on a permanent home, but it
takes some time to sort out all the necessary arrangements

in prayer, practically and emotionally during the past yearOur team who are dealing with all of their own
emotions, and several other difficult situations, at a time when we also want

we are open from 14th – 17th June

Our Community Tea on Saturday 16th

The Public Inquiry:

The truth to emerge from all the different
witnesses, so that lessons can be learnt

The bereaved and survivors, and all of us in the
community for whom hearing the details of some of the failings re-opens some of
the pain, and for those who bear the burden of any kind of responsibility for
what happened

Sir Martin Moore-Bick, the Chair of the Inquiry,
for wisdom and compassion, for all the professionals involved in presenting the
evidence, and for the witnesses
